This is one of those threads...

It really isn't, it's just an observation. How it gets off topic is up to the poster.

[IcyGamma]

Saber Ninja, you said it yourself. Your tired and you don't understand. End it there.

[Zaem]

so, this thread is suppose to be an oxymoron?

No. It's not an oxymoron in the slightest.

[IcyGamma]

Lol someone is trying to use big words to look important.

[Zaem]

and oxymoron is not that big of a word. I deign to say that you need some edification

Yes it is...!

NO

Where does it say that this has to stop?

Some people tried to stop a trend, but only started a new trend.
The trend is to make your topic the exact thing you are going against.
Examples:
etc. etc.
Kind of examples but not really examples:

No it's not. You're an idiot. Why would I want to join the trend of irony?

Exactly, I don't even care. Except for Bones4. We still have to fight about it.

[Zaem]

the question is what kind of irony;

dramatic where someone is ignorant of an obvious fact,
situational where something/someone does as it is not intended to do,
verbal where someone says something that has a different meaning than intended

These definitions may not be accurate, but they're close to it

Irony is irony, oxymoron is oxymoron. It is what it is. And no matter how many re-interpretations you make, it will continue to mean what it means.

Spinning definitions around is a stupid defense tactic that will still get you grilled in the end so why bother? Just stop using fancy words with fancy functional meanings you cannot comprehend.

I wasn't trying to be defensive (I don't see any cause for it), I'm just trying to figure out how all these other posts go against themselves and how they might possibly be ironic

I understand the meaning of the words I use else I wouldn't use them.

edited: I added the period, happy
